Mammalian preimplantation embryogenesis depends on the spatio-temporal dynamics of
the microtubule cytoskeleton to enable exceptionally fast changes in cell number, function …

Chromosome segregation in female germ cells and early embryonic blastomeres is known
to be highly prone to errors. The resulting aneuploidy is therefore the most frequent cause of …

Newly synthetic autotetraploid rice shows lower pollen fertility and seed setting rate relative
to diploid rice, which hinders its domestication and breeding. In this study, cytological …

The accuracy of meiotic division in oocytes as well as mitotic divisions post-fertilization are
critical for maintaining genomic stability in developing embryos. This dissertation was …
